    • ]]>     It seems that the fine, upstanding (did I mention good-looking?) gentlemen on The Project Studio Network have seen fit to mention me again… only this time, they plugged my website. When I followed the link, I noticed that the page didn’t lay out properly, so I had to comb through the code to fix the glitch. It should be ok now… let me know what you think.

    • ]]>     While listening to one of my favorite podcasts, what should I hear…? You’ll have to take a listen for yourself.

    1. Head over to The Project Studio Network
    2. The latest show may start playing automatically. If it isn’t #79, click [Show #79] to start it playing
    3. After the entire show loads, FFW through the first 2/3rds of the show by dragging the little dark gray rectangular playback head to the right
    4. Listen for the “listener mail” segment
    5. When you hear them start to talk about “On The Media,” put your ears on… it’s right after he says “that is classic.”
    6. Sit back and enjoy

    Look for this thingy… it’s the Flash player

    • ]]>     OK, OK… I know I haven’t done anything with this since… oh, August of last year. Here’s the scoop. Right after I posted the first test podcast, I quit my job and started back to school. It hasn’t been so much of an issue of time, but rather motivation and material. Well, I’m going to try to fix that, despite still being in school and working to get into a graduate program (that, alas, has nothing to do with music). Wish me luck.

    This is a song that my old band “wrote” and recorded way back in the olden days before the terrorists won. I think it reflects a more innocent time, don’t you.

    Note that at no time were alcoholic beverages of any kind imbibed. (No, really.)

    Me: guitar / background vocals
    Nico: background vocals / squeals
    Shannon: drums
    Ben: bass / unfortunate lead vocals
